Nudist sout america

By Bonnie Hamre. After visiting the famous beaches of Rio de Janeiro , where the skimpiest amount of cloth passes for a tanga thong bathing suit or the even minuter version called fio dental or dental floss, and beachgoers revel in exposing almost their entire bodies, it isn't surprising that Brazil is one of the few South American countries that has legalized nude or naturist beaches and resorts. This is not without a struggle, though. Brazilian naturism has its following and is rising in popularity with international nudists and naturalists.

This is a list of social nudity places in South America used for recreation. This list includes topfree beaches, clothing-optional beaches or nude beaches and some resorts. Topfree beaches allow women to sunbathe without a bikini top or other clothing above the waist. Clothing-optional beaches allow either sex to sunbathe with or without clothing above or below the waist. A nude beach may also be an obligatory nude area, which means that both sexes are obliged to go without clothing above as well as below the waist. Public nudity is a misdemeanor in Brazil, except in places officially designated by the local authority. Note: Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro is not a nude beach, despite its depiction as such in the motion picture Blame It on Rio.

For Nick and Lins, the couple behind the hugely popular blog Naked Wanderings , their nude beach of choice is a remote offering within Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona in Colombia. We spent two days at this nude beach and noticed that for curious Colombians, as well as many independent travellers and backpackers, it was their first nude beach experience. It's secluded location is found at the base of a steep trail that descends from the campus of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. It is also the oldest legal nude beach in Canada. Jessa, a nudist since and shortly thereafter a writer at the Nude Blogger , raves about Point Addis in Victoria.

Best Beaches. Facebook Twitter Email. CNN — Although still taboo in many places, casting aside your clothes at the shore has become a customary practice around the world in recent times. From rocky coastlines to talcum powder fine sands, and big city bays to secluded shores, there are now hundreds of beaches where it's perfectly legal or at least de facto legal to sunbathe, swim and otherwise frolic beside the sea in nothing more than your birthday suit. While clothing-optional beach destinations may seem like a modern invention, it's actually quite an old idea, a product of the otherwise prudish Victorian era.
